I wouldn’t normally review something so quickly but I thought I would this time with the Race Face Atlas FR bars.
I have to be honest in the past I’ve never got on with Race Face bars, there’s nothing wrong with them as such, they’re just not a sweep or rise that I liked. However the Atlas Bars I love. Massively wide (785 mm) but beautifully low rise. They felt like old friends from the start. I think I may well keep them at the width as well (I had decided 745mm WAS my size but now I’m not so sure). It’s a sign of a nice product that when you put it on a bike and something as important as cockpit as well it feels right from the off.
Also available in green, blue, red, orange, purple, gold and black.
Overall: Super nice bars, nice classic sweep up-to-date sizing. Try some.

NICE! know a couple of local spots where 785 will definately cause steep step dry stone wall jam issues… or action depending on your persepective.
why does the beardy man appear to be checking out the leaning chaps package?
That is not a beard.
Any idea of weight?
I wasn’t checking out the chaps package bigrich, I was looking at someone out of shot.
How long before someone starts using bars over a metre wide?
Why is Dave Grohl in the piccie? Nice bars, great colour!
